Fig. 3 represents a sectionalview'of a modified form of our jug, and Fig. 4. represents a sectionalview Of another modified form of the jug. v

Our improved jug or jar is of verysimple construction and consists ofthe body/A, having at the upper portion the annular recess B, providedwith the diametrically opposite ears or lugs C, and the conical top D,having the spout E. The body is provided with the dished or concavedbottom F, having the annular rim Gr, which is provided with thediametrically opposite recesses or seats I-I, which when kthe jugs arenested receives the ears C, on the top of the body and in this mannerthe jugs can be easily nested and retained together'and the lugs or earsare formed with anY opening inwhich is received the ends of the bail :orhandle J, and by this construction the" ears form the retaining devicesas well as the ears for the handle.

In the form of our jugy shown in Fig. 3 we place the handle ears K, onthe conical top L, of the jug and they t in sockets M, in the bottom ofthe jug when nested, andin the form shown in Fig. 4 we provide thevannular recessor channel N, of the jug with a spiral tongue O, whichfits in the groove P, in the bottom of the jug.

Itis evident that we provide a jug Whic can be easily made and whichpossesses all the features of merit calculated to commend it as usefuland practical.
